OK Girls

It's about time I muster up some energy, and concentration to share here. Once again, I've faulted on keeping up to date with this blog as often as I always tell myself I'm going to. My bad. But I'll fall into it sometime I'm sure. I think I'm finally starting to get into a better habit of drawing and sketching so this should aid in facilitating the blogging process.
In fact, my recent fits of insomnia seem to have led me to wasting my life in the infrawebs. Much of that time has been devoted to sifting through profiles on OKcupid.com. Part boredom, part hoping to haphazardly stumble across my soulmate. But there's some really purdy ladies on there soooo.... I drew a few :P
I've also tried to give some free portraits via chatroulette.com, with much less success. Aside from unnappreciation and severe lack of patience displayed by so many people, there's just too many dicks. But I still might try my luck. We'll see.

Pattern Play

Just had to post something since it's been a little while since the last one. This is a drawing done at work fairly recently I quite like, partly inspired by the fanciful mind at www.thelandbetweensolarsystems.com

Very beautiful work. Check it out!

Jellies

I really love this sketch. Done not too far back. From about october/november 2009. There's a lot that needs to be worked with here. Kind of a cluster of all sorts of things aquatic related. The jellyfish and nautilus. A lot of concepts and ideas I've been into recently, but unfortunately have been forced to keep putting off refining this and making a final illustration of some sort. At this point, I'm not sure It will ever get anywhere, but I hope I can find some time somewhere to do something more with it.

Sloppy Studies

I was just re-designing and editing the blog a bit and while searching for images to design a nifty little header I stumbled across a few fun studies I had forgot about I thought I might share. Those of you who might be familiar with my Deviant Art page (www.evjones.deviantart.com), will find that these are nothing really new, but there's still a freshness in these I still quite enjoy. I may have to try to get into a little more watercolor and ink fun soon.

Before's

Blargh! Still taking too long to post these things here. I apologize. I MUST get more into a habit. But a lot of things have been going wayside unfortunately as I'm working my arse off coloring a comic with some awesome folks. Little preview here: http://EvJones.deviantart.com/art/Big-Pile-O-Death-Promo-150524412

Just to prove to you I'm NOT just being lazy.

Anyway, here's a few little visual nibblets to feast your eyes upon. These are a little more advanced than sketches I suppose. These are just a few "before" shots of a some of the paintings I've been doing recently. I just really love how clean the linework is on some of these and how it acts with the natural grain of the wood. Sometimes I think I should just leave them this way, because it's almost painful to have to cover them up. See the finished paintings here: www.evjones.carbonmade.com

Enjoi!

There's a few more but I think I'll just save them for a little later. It'll give me a reason to make sure I post again soon!

More ladies...of course....

Ok, not doing so well about updating this almost daily as I'd hoped. Simply busy with work and other projects. But here's just a few tidbits.
Just always liked these few. I'll have to scan more to get up here soon. Enjoy!

Old Girlie Sketches...and llamas?

Just some random sketches from an older sketchbook. I quite like these. I almost feel as though I can't even draw this well anymore. They seem more fluid and anatomically correct than what I've been doing. Maybe it's just that blue lead though. It's been a while since I've touched the stuff. Gives this a nice look. A few out there might even recognize one of these sketches from a business card I've had for a while. Can you spot it?

Enjoy!
